【答案解析】[听力原文]1-10 Man: Hello 'Paragliders' Paradise'. How can l help you? Maria: Oh hi. I'm interested in doing a course in paragliding. Man: Which course are you interested in? Maria: Well, I'm not sure. What's available? Man: Well ... we've got the introductory course which lasts for two days. Maria: OK. Man: Or there's the{{U}} 4-day beginners' course which is what most people do first. I'd tend to recommend that one.{{/U}} And there's also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions. Maria: We might try the beginner's course. What sort of prices are we looking at? Man: {{U}}The introductory is{{/U}} ＄190; the beginner's course, which is probably what you'd be looking at, is ＄320 -{{U}} no, sorry 330{{/U}} - it's just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄ 430. Maria: Right. Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured. That'll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see. Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg? Man: No, I'm afraid not - it's only 3rd party and {{U}}covers you against damage to other people or their belongings,{{/U}} but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance. Maria: I see! And what's the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike?{{U}}We're pretty keen cyclists.{{/U}} Man: It's difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, ' cos we're a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I'll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What's your name? Maria: Maria Gentle. Man: And your address, Maria? Maria: Well, I'm a student staying with a family in Newcastle. Man: So it's care of ... Maria: Care of{{U}} Mr and Mrs. McDonald.{{/U}} Man: Like the hamburgers! Maria: Yes, exactly. Man: {{U}}McDonald ...{{/U}} Maria: The post office box address is probably best. {{U}}It's R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.{{/U}} Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information? Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It's 0249 that's for Newcastle and then{{U}} double seven five four three one.{{/U}} Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you'll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying? Maria: {{U}}Uh ... by credit card{{/U}} if that's OK. Do you take Visa? Man: Yes, fine. {{U}}We take all major cards, including Visa.{{/U}} Maria: OK then. Thanks very much. Maria: Hi, Pauline. Pauline: Hi, Maria! What's that you're reading? Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding? Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff? Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we'd have to take a few things along. Pauline: Such as? Maria: Well, it says here. 'Clothes: wear stout boots', so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and 'clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.' That's probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er... we need to bring suntan lotion and {{U}}something to protect your head from the sun!{{/U}} Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay? Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it's only{{U}} ＄10 a day to pitch a tent.{{/U}} That'd be fine, wouldn't it? And that way we'd save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money. Pauline: {{U}}Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. {{/U}}It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don't fancy a caravan. Maria: No, I agree. But let's take a tent and pray for good weather. Pauline: OK - let's do it. What about next weekend? Maria: No, I can't - I'm going on a geography field trip. Pauline: ... and then it's the weekend before the exams and I really do need to study. Maria: OK, then. Let's make it the one after the exams. Pauline: Fine - we'll need a break by then. Can you ring and let me know ...
